Marvel’s Infinity Stone Epic Comes to Arcades in Andamiro’s …

Few movie themes have realized such colossal recognition as the Infinity Stones’ plot in Marvel’s wildly popular “Infinity War” and “Endgame.” Central to these two major motion pictures, which had a combined production price tag of $1 billion, is the search for the Infinity Stones, the most powerful [fictional] artifacts in the universe, by Marvel’s famous superheroes and supervillains. So, it should come as no surprise that game-maker Andamiro reinvented the Infinity Stones motif as a live-action arcade game in its latest licensed title from Marvel Studios. Andamiro’s Avengers Infinity Stone Challenge sends players on a quest to collect all six Infinity Stones to save the universe. With good timing skills – pressing the button at just the right time – players can successfully drop a stone into one of three target holes on the revolving playfield. Players can briefly be their favorite Avenger as they win tickets, collect stones and have fun. The easy-to-understand one-button interface makes this a game for all skill levels, but still challenges those with sharp eye-hand coordination. The new ball-drop game boasts an attention-grabbing Avengers-branded cabinet with two player positions. It’s adorned with lively Avengers superhero artwork, outside and inside. Captains America and Marvel, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Panther and Doctor Strange, among others, appear in their original comic book stylings. A marquee depicting Thanos’s infamous snap will stand out in any venue. “Andamiro’s Infinity Stone Challenge will appeal to players of all ages, joining family entertainment centers to the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” said Andamiro USA president Drew Maniscalco. “Marvel is the gold standard super brand, and our new game encapsulates the main storyline from ‘Endgame,’ the second-highest grossing film of all time.”   Infinity Stone Challenge employs color-sensing technology to transport the Marvel story into a quick-play arcade adventure. The game’s replica stones are colored orange (Soul Stone), red (Reality Stone), blue (Space Stone), purple (Power Stone), green (Time Stone), and yellow (Mind Stone). Photoelectric sensors detect the color and send signals to the game’s Infinity Gauntlets (two per side) that keep score. When a player collects all six stones, they activate the Super Spin wheel, which is positioned between two player stations. The wheel will stop on different bonus prizes. Gameplay is progressive, meaning collected stones remain lit on the gauntlet until all six are won and the wheel spins. The game also plays with a “wild” black stone, which automatically spins the wheel when a player successfully drops it into a target hole. All functions are self-contained. A novel elevator system returns dropped stones to the top holding area where they recirculate.   ABOUT MARVEL Marvel Entertainment LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Walt Disney Co. and is one of the world’s most prominent character-based entertainment companies, built on a library of more than 8,000 characters featured in a variety of media over 70 years.

Andamiro and MLB Players Inc. bring action-packed baseball v…

IRVING, TX—August 22, 2022—Andamiro and the MLB Players Association have teamed up to present a new baseball video game for arcades and family entertainment centers. Bobblehead Baseball is Andamiro’s latest video redemption game and first licensed title from MLB Players Inc., a subsidiary of the MLBPA.   Andamiro’s new “videmption” (video + redemption) game pits arcade gamers against the bobble-headed avatars of MLB’s biggest stars in this fast-action, wholesome video game that awards tickets. Bobblehead Baseball began shipping industrywide this month following a Dave & Buster’s chain-wide deployment that began in May. The new game rolls out with 21 MLB stars: eight pitchers and 13 batters.   The action begins when the game selects the pitcher and the player picks their batter. There are three adjustable difficulty levels (easy, normal and hard). Bobble-headed pitchers throw fastballs, curveballs or changeups, while batters aim their swings at seven outfield targets with ticket values. To win the Super Bobblehead Bonus, players should aim for the letters that spell G-R-A-N-D—S-L-A-M. But avoid hitting the out markers! Three outs end the game, naturally.     To entice repeat participation, the grand-slam bonus is progressive, preserving the most recent spelling status until the big-ticket prize is won and reset. Adding to the excitement, a Home Run Chance booster alternates positions in front of the targets. Hitting a homer boosts points by 200. When a game is over, points are converted to tickets.   Bobblehead Baseball is not a one-and-done redemption game. In addition to awarding tickets, it offers gamers entertainment value. As they play more, skilled players could keep a game in session for a minute or two.   “We were very pleased by all reactions to Bobblehead Baseball at this year’s trade shows,” said Andamiro USA president Drew Maniscalco. “Baseball means summer. And America’s pastime creates a good feeling in everyone…and who doesn’t love a bobblehead?”   In fact, bobbleheads, named to described small collectible doll figures featuring disproportionately oversized heads, have a long connection to baseball, dating back to 1960 when a papier-mâché series was created for each team. Andamiro’s new video pays homage to that history.     [이 게시물은 ANDAMIRO님에 의해 2023-01-04 17:20:29 News에서 이동 됨]

Make your stones shine with this handy Avengers maintenance …

One of Andamiro’s best-selling games, the Marvel Avengers pusher is a top-played amusement device wherever it’s deployed. The popular coin pusher offers gamers a truly rich experience by integrating the Infinity Stones storyline of the “Avengers” movies.   The game’s circulating items include collectible cards featuring Avengers characters and replicas of the Infinity Stones. And those stones will get grimy and scuffed after a lot of play. So what can operators do about that? This simple tip will keep your Avengers looking sharp. Follow this before-and-after cleaning sequence to make your stones shine.   BEFOREAs time goes by and your Avengers clocks in thousands of plays, the game’s Infinity Stones will inevitably become dirty and scratched. Check out these two photos illustrating soiled and dull-looking stones from both sides of an Avengers:   THE FIXUse a disposable cleaning cloth like the one here and polish the stones, which are hard plastic balls, with Brasso or a similar polish. Before you polish and buff, you may want to use Goo Gone or a similar cleaner to remove the sticky residue from your stones; cleaning with white vinegar or a baking soda paste can also remove residue. Now apply a small amount of Brasso to your cloth and work it around the stone. Use separate clean cloth to burnish the stone. Brasso and other quality polishes can also repair and fill scratches on plastic surfaces. Do this for all stones on the pusher playfields and those on the conveyer belts. Wipe the Brasso off with the fresh cloth and check the scratches. If they remain, polish one more time.   AFTERThis cleaning and polishing process should take about 30 minutes to treat all Infinity Stones on both sides of the Avengers pusher. Check out these results:   Andamiro introduced its Avengers game in 2020. It is themed around Marvel’s most famous superheroes, features energetic electromechanical sequences, and boasts exciting rapid-fire, token-dropping sights and sounds. It is the first arcade title developed under the Andamiro-Disney creative alliance formed in 2019.

Andamiro’s SpongeBob Pirates of Bikini Bottom ball pusher in…

IRVING, TX–September 7, 2022– Andamiro is pleased to announce that its latest and much-anticipated redemption game is now shipping to arcades and family entertainment centers nationwide. In Andamiro’s quick-fire pusher titled “SpongeBob Pirates of Bikini Bottom,” as the name suggests, Nickelodeon’s celebrated undersea characters turn into amusing pirates.   Pirates of Bikini Bottom integrates character cards, plastic chips, video gameplay and ball pusher mechanics to create a feature-rich arcade mashup with lots of ways to win tickets. Pirates enables the interaction of classic electrotechnical devices with video, adding an innovative twist to the growing amusement pusher category. And the game’s character cards and colored chips, all carrying ticket values, intersperse with balls on the playfield. Chips are RFID tagged and the cabinet is equipped with two validators that redeem them.     Andamiro’s Pirates is a multi-layered redemption game, but one that can be easily grasped by players of all ages and requiring only one button. Players shoot the mini blue balls into the moving treasure chest. Following a successful shot, the sequence is completed on the video screen: cannon fires and a bubble is put into the “bubble meter.” When 10 shots fill the bubble meter, the Pirates prize wheel spins on the video display. Wheel prizes include bonus tickets, cards, chips and balls, and the 500-ticket Bin Win dividend. For its in-game card series, Andamiro’s Pirates corrals a hilarious ensemble of Bikini Bottom characters. The nine-card redemption set features SpongeBob (also as Patchy), Patrick (and his hook-handed pirate alter ego), Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Plankton and Gary the Snail (aka Painty), along with the Flying Dutchman as the rare piece. The colorful cards boast witty pirate riddles on the backside. Players can collect all nine cards to win the Super Bonus.   SpongeBob, his aquatic friends and their underwater city of Bikini Bottom were created by marine science educator and animator Stephen Hillenburg for the Nickelodeon channel, which aired the first “SpongeBob SquarePants” episode more than 20 years ago. Today, SpongeBob is the most in-demand children’s TV show in the world and 47 times more popular than the average TV show, according to Guinness World Records. But SpongeBob is not only enjoyed by children, Guinness pointed out. The show first appeared on Nickelodeon in 1999, so its original fans are all adults now. For this reason, among many others, Andamiro’s SpongeBob games remain popular with all ages.   Pirates of Bikini Bottom is Andamiro’s sixth SpongeBob arcade adaptation, which includes the recently retired SpongeBob Pineapple Arcade, the company’s bestselling game and still one of industry’s top-earning coin and card pushers.   “The key to a successful SpongeBob adaptation, however, is the game itself must be compelling on its own,” observed Andamiro USA president Drew Maniscalco, “and we believe Pirates of Bikini Bottom is the most innovative pusher-style concept to hit the market.”   Off the pallet and out of the box, SpongeBob Pirates of Bikini Bottom measures 70” W. x 47” D. x 101” H. and weighs 937 lbs. The eye-catching two-player cabinet is equipped with 23” LCDs for each player position. Pirates is now available through authorized Andamiro distributors.

Andamiro Announces the Highly Anticipated ‘Jurassic World: F…

Epic ticket redemption attraction begins shipping mid-November GARDENA, CA, October 30, 2019— Clomp, clomp, clomp – here they come. The colossal dinosaurs from the “Jurassic Park” movies will again roam the earth, only this time it’s in arcades and family entertainment centers. Andamiro is pleased to announce that its latest game, the first-ever redemption attraction inspired by Universal Pictures’ blockbuster film franchise, begins shipping in November.   Andamiro’s new game takes its name from the fifth and most recent film, “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,” which opened in theaters in 2018. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is Andamiro’s second licensed title from Universal; the first was Despicable Me Jelly Lab, released in 2017 and still in production.     JWFK’s gameplay is simple and addictively fun. The player presses the start button; a model toy truck rolls back to begin; and the player pushes the truck up the track, trying to align with the BIGWIN! marker to win the bonus. Tickets are won with every play, based on where the truck stops. When the player lands on the BIGWIN! marker, the bonus is won, and a victory song and light show are activated – “escape success!”   55” W. x 118” D. x 85” H.   Like the genetic engineers portrayed in the movies, Andamiro’s designers set out to create a “bigger, badder and better” attraction.   Bigger: JWFK one of the largest games built by Andamiro and will have a commanding presence in gamerooms. Its setup dimensions are 55” W. by 118” D. (almost 10 ft.) by 85” H. (7 ft.) – similar in space to two 10-ft. skee-ball alleys. JWFK has two user positions, or tracks, that offer independent play.   Badder: JWFK boasts a super-bad look with meticulously detailed art and a roaring soundtrack. To meet the demanding requirements of Universal, Andamiro created a game as spectacular as the Jurassic Park movies themselves, closely replicating the imagery in the films. As a result, JWFK looks, sounds and feels like a “Jurassic” theme park.   Better: JWFK has “more teeth” than any other redemption game on the market. It stands out, catches the attention of passers-by and offers an entertaining skill challenge. One push, game is done, and tickets are won.   “Some 300 million people bought tickets to the five Jurassic Park movies,” said Andamiro USA president Drew Maniscalco. “And how many more watched it on TV or video? It’s one of the most-recognized entertainment brands in the world and we are proud to partner with Universal to bring it to arcades.”   Michael Crichton’s best-selling “Jurassic Park” novel was published in 1990 and turned into a movie in 1993 by Steven Spielberg. A sequel, “The Lost World,” also written by Crichton, became a movie in 1997, and “Jurassic Park III completed the first trilogy in 2001. The franchise’s second trilogy, a continuation of the first films, began in 2015 with the release of “Jurassic World,” followed by “Fallen Kingdom” three years later. The reboot’s third installment, tentatively named “Jurassic World III,” is expected to open in theaters in July 2021. It will bring back original Jurassic Park stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, along with Jurassic World’s Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and BD Wong.   “The five Jurassic Park films had worldwide box office sales of $5 billion dollars in total,” Maniscalco observed. “And Andamiro’s game is being released 18 months ahead of what is expected to be the biggest blockbuster in the franchise’s 27-year history. It’s going to be a ‘epic’ asset, and long-term earner, for amusement operators.”   Andamiro’s arcade game borrows from a popular theme in the Jurassic Park movies: dinosaurs chasing trucks. The game’s objective is to “escape from the island.” The central components are two miniature off-road vehicle replicas that players push up the railed tracks. There are seven ticket-point zones along the tracks differentiated by colors and an “out” terminus on the backboard. Tickets are won when a truck stops at any of these positions; a low-ticket value can be awarded when a truck is pushed too hard and hits “out.” To keep things interesting, the position of the BIGWIN! bonus marker changes with every turn.   What makes Andamiro’s JWFK so much fun is that the player actually grips and pushes the truck without the intervention of a lever, plunger or other controller. Additionally, the playfield is mostly open. Acrylic side and front windows prevent people from reaching over to cheat. But if that doesn’t stop a cheating attempt, motion sensors inside the playfield area will detect abuse and disable the game in progress. Game over!     “When people ask me to describe JWFK’s gameplay, I say ‘it has the elements of a shuffleboard table and a skill stop game wrapped up in an exciting action movie,’” said Andamiro USA marketing manager Nick Montano. “As for how to play: don’t push too hard, or too soft … do your best to read the distance between the starting point and BIGWIN! marker to predict how much push power is required to stop at the marker.”   Andamiro’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom began testing in arcades in July 2019 and consistently ranked in the top 2%. It makes its official debut in late November at IAAPA Expo in Orlando, FL (booth # 1,300).
